Former Golden State Warrior Baron Davis believes again, this time with the Cleveland Cavaliers

Now in his third season since leaving Golden State, it's obvious that Davis, recently acquired by the Cleveland Cavaliers, still treasures his years with the Warriors.

"I think about that a lot," Davis said after Cavs practice on Monday. "We were the most talked about team in the league. We were playing winning basketball. And then ... "

He snapped his fingers.

"It was over. I feel in Golden State, we never got a chance to take off the way it was supposed to."

For the first time since he decided to jumped ship, Davis said

he sees a chance to be himself again, to play his game.

He has designs on finishing what he started with the Warriors, but in Cleveland. He has designs on creating We Believe II.

"It's the same situation as Golden State," Davis said. "Different weather, mind you. But the energy is here. I step into a situation with a bunch of young guys. The organization is great. We have really good folks that are going to push us and push me back to the top. I see this as an opportunity, more so than anything, for me to get back to where I am able to do the things that I am capable of doing."

"My game has transitioned a lot," Davis said. "I've been able to study the game and watch the game by playing a different way. I've been kind of missing that fast-break style, the way we played with the Warriors. That's what was promised to me, that I was going to have an opportunity to run up and down the floor. The freedom wasn't there. I went to L.A. and basically played within a box. Now, I can get outside that box again."
